Neurotransmitters released into the synapse may be reuptaken into the axon endings from which they originated. One name for this process is:
 
  a. retracing.
  b. deactivation.
  c. recapture.
  d. inhibitory transmission.

Question 2

Suppose the reuptake of a specific neurotransmitter were deficient and the deactivation enzymes associated with the neurotransmitter were also deficient. What effect would this have?
 
  a. There would be more of the neurotransmitter in the synapse.
  b. There would be less of the neurotransmitter in the synapse.
  c. Since the two deficiencies would balance each other out, there would be no change in the levels of the neurotransmitter.
  d. The neurons would become especially sensitive to the neurotransmitter.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
